Punjab Police have arrested Shehnaz Singh, also known as Shawn Bhinder, an international drug trafficker wanted by the FBI for his role in a global narcotics network. Singh smuggled cocaine from Colombia into the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

His arrest comes in the wake of a February 26 operation in the US, where four of his associates – Amritpal Singh alias Amrit, Amritpal Singh alias Cheema, Takdir Singh alias Romy, Sarbsit Singh alias Sabi, and Fernando Valladares alias Franco – were taken into custody.<\/p>\n

During that operation, US authorities seized a big cache of drugs and weapons, including 391 kilograms of methamphetamine, 109 kilograms of cocaine, and four firearms from multiple residences and vehicles linked to the syndicate.<\/p>\n

Following the US crackdown, Singh fled to India, where Punjab Police launched a search to locate him before arresting him. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“This operation is a testament to Punjab Police’s zero-tolerance approach to drug trafficking and organised crime. We remain committed to working with international law enforcement agencies to ensure that Punjab is not a safe haven for drug smugglers and criminals,” said Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav.
